I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It was quick, funny, sweet, heartwarming and funny. I loved the characters, especially Lucy and Owen's parents. I really liked the parent-child relationships that Jennifer E. Lee explores and the beautiful way she portrays both the good things and the difficult things about them.
That being said, I took a point off for the climax. It was sweet, but in my opinion lacking in conflict.

I felt that with the way the reunion was being built up, the reader was promised a conflict that didn't happen. Lee laid out the path for something that wasn't easy, and instead of cashing in on it went the seamless happiness route.shatterdiamond's review against another edition

###spoilers### I wanted more. The characters have so many thoughts and feelings, but I'm not convinced of their compatibility, as they spend so very little time together. I am intrigued enough with the author, however, to go back and read The Statistical Probability book.

This is the second Jennifer E. Smith book I've read and it did not fail to take my breath away. Jennifer has a beautiful writing style and her analogies are just perfect! Her books never let me down!

Not the worst, not the best. It was just sort of there. An enjoyable little short read.

It was good but not as much as I expected it. I was very excited with this one and while it entertained me well, I didn't love it.

IT'S A POSTCARD.
Lucy and Owen meet somewhere between the tenth and eleventh floors of a New York City apartment building, on an elevator rendered useless by a citywide blackout.
IT'S A LITTLE SAD THAT THEY'RE SOOOOO... LATE LUCY AND OWEN ARE SO ADORABLE :)

Leuk boek, las lekker weg en heerlijk voor tussendoor. Zeker als je vooral veel dystopische verhalen leest is het soms fijn om een contemporary boek te lezen. Recensie verschijnt gauw op onze blog: www.adorablebooks.nl
